Lit someone’s life in this diwali

Too often the trend in
our society is people are separated from humanity, day by day we are becoming selfish,
which is in turn cutting us off from the great mass of humanity and we are
getting dehumanized in each step.

#GharWaliDiwali

The tendency towards
selfishness rather than giving or helping we are less active in helping humans
who are in need. Do we really need to ponder to offer help to someone who
really need it? Even if we can? That will be big question mark on our minds .As
we don’t bother .I am not saying, I am a great person who helps everybody .But I
try to do bit every time when I can.

This diwali when I went
for shopping at Crawford market ,I saw a very old and weak man ,he must be in
his 60’s,standing in a corner he was selling combs for mere Rs 5.I noticed
nobody was interested to buy his combs (as it was not too fashionable) .Nobody
bothered to even look at him and sympathises the old creature. He was stooping
and selling the combs in his low weak voice. Standing near Badshah cold drinks,
People were buying colorful nail polish worth Rs50 each. There were
diyas,lanterns,candles and colors everywhere. But I couldn’t see any color in
this old man eyes. May be he was worried how much he will earn that day. May be
he have his family to support?

I thought why not help
this old man this diwali however I can. I bought 6 combs from him. Then it
stroked I would help him to sell his combs .Looking at me one aunty she bought
4 combs from him. Then I tried helping him by asking people.

“Hi mam, Could you help
this man by buying just one comb worth Rs 5? He is not begging but selling combs.
May be you could help a little” .I tried the same with about 10 people.9 out of
10 did help this guy. Except one man who was too adamant He said,” I don’t care
“.May be this guy will make bungalow out of his Rs 5.I know I have no right to
be so angry but there is humanity in those nine humans who actually bought some
combs from that old man.

And then I went away .I know
this is not enough, but I was happy I could help someone even for a day.

So
strike back against the selfishness and greed of our modern world, and help out
a fellow human being today. Not next month, but today.
